1. Jade T.

“Jade was an excellent dog sitter! She was incredibly nice, punctual, and showed genuine care for my dog. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such loving hands. Highly recommend her services!”


2. Kathryn C.

“It was our first time getting a sitter to stay in our home and care for our 3 dogs for 2 days and Kathryn did not dissapoint. She was very attentive, sweet, patient, and understood all the directions on what to do for our 3 fur babies since they all have different eating habits and personalities. She made sure she texted me throughout her stay if she had any questions and sent us plenty of pics to keep us updated. She was very respectful of our home too. Her price is completely reasonable and I felt like the kids were in good hands with her. I would ask for her help again in the future and I definitely recommend.”


3. Rob S.

“Rob did an amazing job housesitting for us, he was great with our fur baby and kept the house immaculate. He even did more things that we did not ask him nor expect him to do. Highly recommend his services, we were very happy knowing our house and pup were left in good hands! Thanks a lot Rob!”


4. Heather J.


“It was such a wonderful feeling coming home and seeing how well not just my pups, but also my home was taken care of. Highly recommend Heather for peace of mind and will definitely use again.”


5. Taryn M.

“Taryn is an incredible human. It’s so nice to be able to leave town and feel completely comfortable leaving your fur babies in such amazing care. She’s punctual, reliable, has fantastic communication and just goes above and beyond treating your pets like her own. One of a kind! ♥️”


6. David R.

“David did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and dog. He sent pictures daily, and was attentive to our cat who his shy around new people. Would definietly recommend, and we have already rebooked !”


7. Andrew H.

“Andrew is a godsend. We've had him to sit for our Rhodesian ridgeback and our Staffy twice, for 4 days and 10 days, respectively, and we have both times come back to 2 happy and healthy dogs, who looked at us like we had only been gone a short while. They had neither gained stress weight nor become too skinny, and we could tell Andrew had been diligent taking them out frequently. He had mixed in their favorite food toppers and given them their medicine as we asked. He is a kind person, and you can tell he thinks deeply about things, and people's and pets' feelings. He even swept and tidied up, got our mail from our mailbox, and had our packages all neatly inside. He is as the proverb says, a good traveler who leaves no mark, leaving our house exactly as, if not better than, he found it. I can't say enough about the peace of mind Andrew has given us, especially the second time, since we already knew we could trust him. We were able to go to Disney World and have a truly magical time because we knew he was caring for our dogs and our house as we would have done.”


8. Marchauna B.
“Marchauna was amazing! She responded very quickly to a last minute request for a weekend house sitting with overnight stay, and with 3 pets to boot! She was very understanding of our puppy's nightly routine of a 3am wake up call, not to mention having to supervise playtime and literally herd cats from room to room 🤣 Marchauna is also very knowledgeable on puppy training techniques, and she gave us a lot of helpful advice. 10/10 would recommend!”




9. Samantha E.


“Samantha was marvelous! I’m always nervous leaving my 9yo wheaten terrier, as she’s been known to get kind of cranky and snarly around other dogs. However, Samantha assured me she felt comfortable with my high-maintenance fuzzy friend. She sent regular photos and updates throughout my week-long trip, and always responded quickly whenever I’d reach out. My place was very clean when I returned and, most importantly, my dog seemed happy and relaxed. I’ll definitely reach out to Samantha again for upcoming trips!”


10. Alexa B.

“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”


11. Mercedes B.

“This is the 2nd time Mercedes has dog sat Obasi. She is my go to. I wouldn’t want anyone else outside of my family to watch him. She’s caring, playful and patient with Obasi. She’s a great communicator as well, providing updates as often as you may want them. Although with her watching him, there is less stress and no need to check up on him daily.”


12. Moria S.
“My Dog and Cat have both had the pleasure of having Moria as a caregiver to them. Moria treats my pets as if they were her own. Zoey and Gargoyle are excited when Moria is around. Moria was successful in getting both my Dog and Cat to cooperate with nail trims and baths something that I struggled with. Yes, Moria has a calmness about her that my Cat, Gargoyle allows Moria to bathe her. Moria has been a godsend to me when I have been out of town by making sure that my Pets are well taken care of.”


13. Daniela M.

“Daniela did a great job. She was very loving to my dogs and I appreciated that she spent so much time with them. She also left my house very clean! She really had a bond with them and I can tell she really loves animals.”


14. Nicole M.
“Niki is a wonderful non-binary pet mom to 2 birds, 2 dogs, and a leopard gecko. They are well versed in dog care such as training exercises, feeding & nutrition, walks, grooming, and giving medications. Percy the leopard gecko is well cared for with meticulous precision and careful handling based on the most up-to-date reptile care, including habitat design and nutrition. Niki is well-versed in bird behavior and care, including giving medication, handling, feeding, and enrichment activities. Niki has also worked with horses, amphibians, and other kinds of reptiles. They are always diligent and compassionate in their care and thorough with research from credible sources when there is something new to them. Definitely hire them!!!”


15. Vanessa R.

“Vanessa is a wonderful sitter. My pets loved her, she noticed little things about my dogs that show how much attention she was showing them. She is a great communicator and sent a lot of photos during the stay.”


16. Hali L.

“Hali was very good with our rambunctious puppy. She was loving but firm with him. He relaxed enough with her to finally sleep. Hali is polite, professional, and a great resource for us.”


17. Gabrielle G.

“Aaliyah was wonderful!! Came home to a very happy dog!”


18. Christine S.
“Christine S is one of few individuals that I can honestly say is the very epitome of kindness. She is also the only person I trust with watching my dog when I need someone to. The relationship she has with her dog, chocolatè, can only be described as a motherly loving relationship. The bonds she builds with both people and animals are both amazing and a mystery. I believe the bonds she builds with both pets and people is a trait, all owners of pets, including myself, should aspire to obtain and develop.”


19. Corey G.
“Corey is an incredible pet caregiver who truly loves animals. He has been amazing with my chihuahua, showing so much care and attention. Reliable, compassionate, and attentive, Corey always goes above and beyond to ensure she feels happy and safe. Highly recommended!”
